Old Man’s Child Revelation 666 (The Curse Of Damnation) vinyl is the official Cosmic Key Creations repress of the 2000 album from Galder’s Norwegian black metal project, pressed in a gatefold edition limited to 500 copies and issued under exclusive license from Century Media Records and the band, making it the authoritative current edition of a record that has been out of reach for most collectors for years.
Old Man’s Child Revelation 666 (The Curse Of Damnation) vinyl: Galder’s Oslo Black Metal
Galder founded Old Man’s Child in Oslo in the early ’90s and developed it into one of the more melodically sophisticated projects in the Norwegian black metal scene. His later role as a primary songwriter and guitarist in Dimmu Borgir brought him wider recognition in the symphonic black metal world, but Old Man’s Child remains the project where his compositional voice is expressed most purely. Revelation 666: The Curse of Damnation was released in 2000 by Century Media at a specific point in the project’s development, showing the atmospheric and melodic approaches that had been building across the earlier releases reaching a particular level of integration. The record is dense with the elements that define Norwegian black metal at its most developed: the tremolo-picked melodic lines, the orchestral ambition, the production that balances rawness with clarity.
The original 2000 pressing has been effectively unavailable to collectors for years. Cosmic Key Creations has built their catalog specifically around official represses of significant black metal material, working with rights holders to ensure legitimate releases.
The Gatefold Pressing at 500 Copies
Gatefold jacket, 500 copies, exclusive Century Media license: this is a controlled, properly documented edition that won’t be reprinted once it sells through. For collectors working through the Norwegian black metal catalog or specifically following Galder’s discography, this is the version to have. It won’t be around indefinitely. Norwegian black metal collectors know that the Century Media catalog from this era is one of the most important in the genre history, and Old Man Child is one of the more significant acts on that roster. The Cosmic Key approach to represses, built around official licenses and proper packaging, means you are getting the record as it was meant to be presented. Five hundred copies at this quality level will not last.
